Moon, Moon,

why are we so drawn to you?

We have yet to understand

what it is about your luminescent glow

that has us hypnotized

like those mindless doe

getting trampled by that blinding roar

as they cross a strange divide

where no trees reside

only to die

much to our delight

Why that blinding roar decides to leave

without a trace

we’ll never understand

not even a single bite

from that twitching corpse

before it disappears

into a forbidden land

Now we feast

under the hallow light of stars

keeping a weather eye on the horizon

for another roaring beast

as our God begins to rise in the east

we cry for her magnificence

an echoing reminder

that this land is ours
